B. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.9-10.1.C Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that relate the current discussion to broader themes or larger ideas; actively incorporate others into the discussion; and clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions. II. Behavioral Objective: Watching clips about heroes in popular cultures, students will be able to recognize the steps of the Heros Journey and be able to connect these steps to their own favorite heroes. III. Anticipatory Set: A. Students will be asked to respond to the following journal prompt: What makes someone a hero? Give some examples of your favorite heroes, and how they fit these characteristics? B. Students will have 6 minutes to write a response in their journals, and then will have an opportunity to share out. This journaling technique will be used to assess the knowledge that students already have about the concept of a hero, so that I will know what concepts they already know and what ideas need to be discussed further. Objective/Purpose: A. The purpose of this lesson is to learn about what makes a hero by going through the steps of the Heros Journey. We will learn this by using graphic organizers and watching clips of popular heroes, so that you will see the examples of this journey and the characteristics that all of these heroes have in common. Input A. Task Analysis1. Students will complete the anticipatory set, reflecting on their own definitions and qualifications of a hero. They will then be given an opportunity to share. As students are writing, I will take credit for homework. 2. Briefly, after the discussion on heroes, we will go over Vocab definitions. 3. Using the graphic organizers in their Language Arts Textbook, students will be lead in a discussion that details the steps in the Heros Journey. 4. We will watch video clips that connect popular culture heroes to these steps. 5. To end class, we will have a brief grammar mini-lesson on prepositions and I will assign homework.
